When you get to the stratosphere, personal preference more than likely influences your rankings. John Shankland's Chicago area layout was top of the line. Bob Bartizek's is right up there. As mentioned, Norm Charbonneau's is in the stratosphere. I cannot recall the couple's name but about thirty years ago they did a Santa Fe layout in the living room of their Arizona home which rivaled any two rail layout and may have started the hi-rail scale trend. They wrote a book about their railroad, I am sure one of our members will furnish their name. No list would be complete without the past Santa Fe two rail layout in Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry.
Of course none of these layouts belong in Three Rail Traditional forum.
How do you consider professionally built layouts and owner built layouts in the same arena?
